neurophysiotherapy scale database

[Alejandro79]

I'm so interested to create a database with as much as possible scales used in NeuroPhysiotherapy.
So, do you want to start sharing your knowledge about it?

Thanks for helping people to improve themselves!

Hi

To develop a really good database you need to include clinimetric information (reliability, validity, responsiveness, norms etc.) as well as the utility of the measure. It is a lot of work. You shouldn't just rely on opinions of other people but look at the scientific merit of the scale.

Rather than developing your own database what about using some good ones that are already available. Here are two excellent textbooks

Finch, E., & Canadian Physiotherapy Association. (2002). Physical rehabilitation outcome measures : a guide to enhanced clinical decision making (2nd ed.). Hamilton, Ont.: BC Decker.

this excellent textbook is available through Amazon


Hill, K., & Australian Physiotherapy Association. National Neurology Group. (2005). Clinical outcome measurement in adult neurological physiotherapy (3rd ed.). St Kilda, VIC: National Neurology Group, Australian Physiotherapy Association.

You can purchase this through the Australian Physiotherapy Association Go to their website

The MCSP also has a free searchable database on their website:

Page 1 of 23 - Searchable database - Outcome measures - Clinical resources - evidence and knowledge - Practice - Members - The CSP

Hope this is of help

Thank you gcoe for all of this information.
Let me explain better:
This database will include scales wich are Evidence Based Physiotherapy (I was not asking for personal opinions) and is not a review, my idea is to make a list of them to take a look on it. Of course if you want to know more about it need to buy a book...
